I had 3 guys together and pressed spacebar for the flashlight, which scared the ghost away, but it came back and got me before i could use the flashlight again.
Alan Lynn: that is how it is supposed to be, you need all 4 to banish ghosts
Really cool concept, but a bit hard to play on an azerty keyboard (the WASD character is difficult to control). Almost reached the end, but I must admit I didn't persevere. Anyway, fun game, and great work on the blog posting and stuff :)
Hmmm. Maybe instead of different key combos to control the guys, you could just use WASD or the arrows and then have a toggle button that switches between colors with an on-screen indicator? I dunno... The way it is now, I kept forgetting which set of buttons was for which guy. When developing a game, you can easily forget what it might be like for somebody that's never played your game, as you're SO CLOSE TO IT that everything is almost second nature.
The idea is really rad, though... and this would be a KILLER co op experience!
Interesting concept, kinda cool to be able to control a whole gang of dudes by myself on one keyboard.
Concept would work well multiplayer, but it's a bit of a nightmare for one player...
Well done, a good first entry!
Just a bit too much to control for 1 player...
